3.0 out of 5 stars Great if you hate shaving, June 13, 2005

This review is from: Schick Intuition Razor, Normal to Dry Skin 1Razor (Health and Beauty)

In the winter months I usually avoid shaving my legs, but it's hard to avoid in summer. Shaving is usually a big production for me, as even in summer I only shave when I need to (for wearing a bathing suit etc), and the hair on my legs is quite coarse and long.

The Intuition was half-off in my local supermarket, so I decided to give it a try. I doubt I would have bought it in the first place if it had not been on sale, as it is expensive compared to other razors

Pros
- For women who don't like shaving because of the time and mess, the convenience is great. With the Intutition it's easy to do quick touch ups.
- I found the shave just as close as any shave I've ever had using a regular razor and foam.
- I have sensitive skin, but the skin conditioning solid didn't give me any problems, and the shave was mostly nick-free.
- Reduces mess in the bathroom.

Cons
- Expensive. You won't save money despite the fact that you don't have to buy shaving foam. In fact you'll probably spend more.
- It's difficult to rinse the hairs out of the blade without melting away the skin conditioning solid. Because of this it's not a good choice for longer hair.
- The solid melts away long before the blade has become too blunt to use, which adds a lot to the cost.
- Can be hard to see where you've shaved.
- Can be a little awkward to use if you don't have a large shower stall.
- Not great for underams/bikini because of the large surface area of the skin conditioning solid.

Despite the fact that the cons appear to outweigh the pros, I would recommend the Intutition, but only as a backup to your regular shaving routine. Hanging it in the shower means you can grab it and spend five minutes giving your legs a quick going-over as you need.

1.0 out of 5 stars WORST RAZOR I'VE EVER USED!!!, August 6, 2004

This is the absolute worst razor I have ever used. I am a 35 year old woman who has been shaving for over 20 years. It is usually a rare occasion that I cut myself while shaving. Since using the Intuition razor, I have mutilated both my ankles and both my knees. The shape and bulk of this razor does not allow for precision movements around curved areas. Even on the smooth sections of my legs, the razor catches and skips, and I am stubbly by the end of the day. And forget about using this razor on armpits or bikini line. Even if this razor worked well on my legs, I'd need a different razor for those delicate areas. I am extremely dissapointed in this product, as are most of my friends who have tried it. And, yes, I did wet both the razor and my skin, and shaved while in the shower, so that is not the problem. What a waste of money. I should have listened to my intition, and left this worthless product on the shelf.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great concept, so-so execution, August 22, 2005

This review is from: Schick Intuition Razor, Normal to Dry Skin 1Razor (Health and Beauty)

After years of cutting my legs with dollar-store razors, I finally decided to treat myself to a decent razor. I picked the Intuition because I really liked the idea of having the soap and shaver in one.

The main "pro" of this razor is that, in my opinion, it gives a good, close shave. I haven't had any of the problems with it not shaving closely enough that other reviewers have mentioned; maybe it's just a matter of personal preference.

I also like that it glides along the leg very smoothly. I've nicked myself occasionally at the ankle and knee, though - go carefully in those spots.

It's convenient to be able to hang the razor right in the shower from the suction-cup hook. Since I only shave in the shower, it doesn't bother me that both your legs and the razor need to be wet for it to work.

Now for the cons. The soap wears down very quickly. I've even had one soap bar pop off the razor completely after only a couple of uses, and there was no way to reattach it - there went one very expensive refill!

And yes, the refills are EXPENSIVE! Way overpriced, if you ask me, especially since they don't last very long.

I find that the average refill lasts in good condition (with soap on the sharp side of the blades) for maybe 6 uses; after that, the only soap is left on the dull side of the blades, where it doesn't do any good (what genius is responsible for that bit of designing??). I usually use the razor anyway until all the soap is gone - maybe a dozen shaves total, only half of which are as they should be. Poor value for the money there.

I'll keep using the Intuition for now; however, when I run out of refills next time I might just go back to a plain ol' razor and shave gel. This product deserves an honest 2.5 stars - it's a great idea that's been hamstrung by a poor finished design and overexuberant pricing.
